o O O O Matter of Fact ByjoWPhAis.P KHRUSHCHEV INTERVIEW Moscow Nikita S. Khrush- ehev Tuesday in effect proposed that the United States adopt a "Fortrtu America" pol icy as the main item in a pro gram for re laxing world tensions. "Soviet troop s," h e said, "would be withdrawn Jotph Aiiop to the national territory of the Soviet Union from all the ccontries in Europe whre they are now stationed in accordance with existing treaties and agreements. Mea While, Western European coun Tries would also withdraw their troops stationed in the territor ies of other Western European countries. The United States war.ild also withdraw its troops to American territory from Eu rope and Asia, and along with that would go the liquidation of all foreign military bases.' mis was the most concrete and significant proposal put for- ward by this remarkable man w in an absorbingly interesting in terview pi two hours. Two other ppmts stod out in Mr. Khrush cnevs extensive discussion of O 'oreign relations in general and t ,-Soviet-American relations (particular. f fi, the one hand, the Soviet ieadof);hip is anxious for the resumption of what Mr. Khrush ctev4:alled "normal diplomatic relation;-) as distinguished from -tfjefbnly formally normal rela tion's we now enjoy." This nor malization, in Mr. Khrushchev's trefini), would include both Ointer-governmental. meetings at Cyie summit and the widest pos sible extension of trade and cul- Ofe relations between the two naive 01 me worm. "We particularly want to nor mally 01 relations with the Unitedtates," he said at one poinT, because your country is true reatpower, and we think -our terjuntry also fits that cate gory." On the other hand, the sug gestion that me Soviet Union might pull out its garrisons in CentralEurope in exchange for American adoption of a policy of strictly continental defense destituted Mr. Khrushchev's onkr offer of a Soviet concession onHrfiy of the many issues that now divide the world. In the currently0 vital case of trie Middle East, he even indi cated active Soviet support for the Middl? Eastern oil resources which produce the real life blood of the second and third western partners, Britain and France. "The peoples of the Middle East must be permitted to de velop as they" choose, and they must make their own use of the 'natural wealth of their coun- O o .

KHRUSHCHEV received me in the First Secretary big office in the rather forbid ding stone building that houses some of the Communist party secretariat. Except for its size, the room was unremarkable, having no distinctive decoration, At first glance, the man him self also seems unremarkable, out la conversation one soon notices that the rather plain face expresses a much deeper and more penetrating intelligence than appears in the stock pho tographs of Mr. Khrushchev be ing jolly. He spoke authorita tively and listened attentively, but during the translations into English he would fiddle with an ornate paper cutter or an ear of hybrid corn enclosed in plas tic, as though he were impatient to get on to the next topic. Mr. Khrushchev set the theme for the discussion of foreign re lations with his opening state ment that we all live on one planet and must find the way to live together in conditions of peaceful coexistence." The first step, he asserted, was for the Western leaders to reconcile themselves to the existence of the Socialist countries "to ac cept this, as a believer would say, as something given by God After that, he added, should come the "normalization" of dip lomatic and other relations. S examples of recent "ab- SMDER'S o GOLD AWARD WifUHNG SILK o State Department's interference with a training contract made by the Soviet Department of Ag riculture with a Mid-Western hy brid corn producing company. and also the State Department's refusal of transit visas request ed by the Russian Olympic ath letes returning from Australia These incidents," he said were, of course, mere pinpricks, but they were pinpricks given on purpose to prevent a serious approach to the more import ant problems standing between the two countries." Contacts on the highest level would be the most helpful," he added. "I want to express my self rather carefully, in order not to mislead American public opinion into thinking the Soviet Union is over-eager for such con tacts. Yet we do believe they would be useful, indeed essential if we want to build up normal relationships. One cannot hope to transmit one's thoughts by magic. One cannot hope to im press one's ideas on the leaders of another country by remote control." As to the purpose of such meetings at the highest level, Mr. Khrushchev gave the famil iar Soviet list of aims: Achiev ing the condition of peaceful co existence, relieving the peoples of the world of unproductive military expenditure, which also holds the danger of a third world war, with all its untold suffer ing, and opening all kinds of trade and cultural contacts." N connection with his remarks about miltary expenditures. Mr. Khrushchev was asked why the Soviet leaders continuously ttacked the United States for its "policy cf strength," when the Soviet Union was itself mak ing such an impressive defense effort. "The policy the United States is pursuing is one of aggression, not of defense," he replied. Every country has, of course. the right to build up armed forces sufficient to defend its in dependence in case of attack. It is quite another thing when a wide net of military bases is being developed, far from the United States and close to the Soviet frontiers. What would you and what would American public opinion think, if the Soviet Union were to succeed in establishing bases in Mexico or Canada? I should think many of your people would lose sleep. But we have strong nerves. and we calmly go about our busi ness, although because of your policy we are compelled to make great armament effort and to warn our people of the danger of war. We believe in fact that the United States is carrying on the material and psychological pre parations for a third world war. Perhaps the purpose merely is to start a European war and to have the peoples of Europe fight each other something that hap pened for a period last time, a period when the United States made a lot of money. 'But the means of warfare have changed. No corner of the globe can be immune, and if the United States has developed ad vanced weapons, we also believe : we are not behind in this re spect." IT was at this point that Mr. : Khrushchev mentioned "with drawal of troops from Europe" along with limitation of arma ments as two essential steps to ward a more dependable peace. On being asked to develop this theme, he made the proposal ! cited at the opening of this re port. He continued, interestingly, that the high-level negotiations : needed for such an agreement would be "unfruitful if each side : come to the meeting with its own arguments and goes on re peating them, as we did at I Geneva, it will be unfruitful."

I have recently been quoted as follows "I believe if Jesus were here to day, instead of being a carpen ter, he would P. be an l n s u r agent." My explana tion of this that I believe the insurance business is clear illustra tion of applied Chri stianity. oer w. Bauson Tf some one home burns, the company does not usually use its capital to pay the unfortunate person. The in surance is paid from premiums contributed by the rest of us Mr. Khrushchev continued energetically with a warning that the "peoples of Europe will not tolerate their being guinea pigs m the hands of others" and win instead insist on tne re moval of United States bases from their territories. Therefore, he argued, the United States would be wise to begin at once to seek a different way out. Thence he passed on to the Middle East, which he described as a situation "both complicated and dangerous, where the smoke of battle has not settled." For these reasons, he declared agreement among the great pow ers was needed that would serve the twin purposes already noted, of a guaranty of free-self-de velopment for the Middle East ern people plus a guaranty that they could do what they chose with their oil resources. 1I1R. KHRUSHCHEV further denied that there was any contradiction between suggest ing intergovernmental negotia tions on me Middle fcast one day, and then indicating the Mid dle Eastern policy of the United States in the United Nations the next day. "We wanted to call things by their proper names he said. With an obvious reference to the Eisenhower doctrine, he went on, "The United States has repeatedly infringed on this country's frontiers and interfer ed in the affairs of other coun tries, and, therefore, we thought the question should be raised.' Finally, Mr. Khrushchev was asked the meaning of the seem ingly sudden replacement of former Foreign Minister Dmitri T. Shepilov by Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko. He answered that the change was made only "in order to make the best use of the person nel available; our policy had al ready been set forth in the re port to the Supreme Soviet by Comrade Shepilov, and no change of policy is implied." A NY.WAY, Mr. Khrushchev added, Soviet foreign policy was made collectively by the Presidium, and the Foreign Min ister's task was "only to execute the policy already made." Then, suddenly giving vent to pleased chuckle, he conclud ed: "Even our glum Comrade Gromyko can also smile very nicely if his partners in negotia tion are smiling, too. So ended this discussion of foreign affairs. It left an impres sion of a strong, clear, practical intellect, studying foreign rela tions with considerable astute ness, seeing particularly the im portant opportunities that this troubled world offers to the Kremlin's policy-makers, but viewing the whole, always and in all places, with the strong refraction of Soviet spectacles.

If one of us dies and the wife receives insurance for $20,000, the rest of us, through our pre miums pay the wife these much needed funds. Let me now give you some ideas as to my thoughts on insurance in gen eral. Kinds of Insurant: The simplest insurance is life insurance. On these life com pany stocks I was very bullish a few years ago when they were cheap; but since then they have increased threefold in price and, hence, are not so attractive. The health, accident and automobile company stocks have never ap pealed to me; but some are OK. The surety and bonding com panies I know nothing about. The fire insurance companies I have studied for years and have invested considerable money therein. The investment trusts have been doing considerable selling of insurance stocks, especially those of the fire insurance com panies. They feel that the pres ent "agency system is becom ing obsolete. There may be rad ical changes in the selling or ganizations of the fire insurance stock companies; but their ex ecutives do not now admit it. Many investors also fear the mutual stock fire companies. Of course, there are no stocknold ers in the mutual life compan ies; but certain stock fire insur ance companies use a mutual system for premiums. They of fer to save the buyer of insur ance a good part of the commis sion now going to the agent. My own feeling is there will always be a field for both classes, each one keeping the other on its toes. Diversification and Management The sensible investor will clas sify lire insurance companies with the best investment trusts By buying such fire insurance stocks an investor gets the ad vantage of the dividends and coupons paid on the securities held by the insurance company and, in addition, profits, if any, from the fire insurance business. This gives investors diversifica tion of securities plus a cut in the fire insurance business. Can any mutual investment trust match this combination? In addition to diversification investors in fire insurance stocks have the advantage of ex cellent management. Fire insur ance companies employ experts for the selection of their securi ties, which are also most care fully watched by an investment committee. The record of the investment holdings of these companies is very commend able. The Premium Cycle Over a period of years the in come from fire insurance stocks has been excellent. - There are cases, such as that of the Home Insurance company, where this record extends over 100 years. There is, however, a cycle in the industry which I should men tion. There will be a period of heavy losses and low profits, af ter which the companies get permission from the state com missions to raise their premium rates. Then follows a period of good profits. After a few years, losses climb again, but the com panies will again be allowed to increase premiums. In the long run, the state commissions are fair with the insurance compan ies and allow them a reasonable average profit. Those who buy these stocks and consistently hold them should have safety, diversification and good man agement, resulting over a long How you can telt if you should take the DALE CARNEGIE COURSE Can you conduct a meeting tactfully?

Spile was divorced from his 21-year-old wife, Sylvia, after she testified that he was always promising to look for a job the next day. period in both capital gains and a lair income. In addition coronrfltinns anrli as the Gamewell company are j constantly at work installing i fire alarms, sprinkler systems, and other means of fire protec tion. Legislatures are constant ly passing laws forcing fire proof construction. Dangerous slums which are breeders of fires constantly are being torn down. All of this works to the advantage of the insurance com panies, their policyholders, and their stockholders. Just now the industry is in. a period of heavy losses and most fire insurance stocks can be bought for much less than their . book value. Hence, this seems to be the right time to buy good fire insurance stocks'.
